This is hardly paranoia. It is something that is increasing in capability and has to be watched. Cheap readers exist that have a 60 foot range. More expensive ones have a 450 ft range with an omnidirectional antenna, with optional directional antenna that can increase the range to quite a bit

What is max temperature you would consider safe for the process ? I know methanol boils at 64.7 degC, but it starts evaporating before reaching this point. Does that mean the temperature higher than 55 degC kept for, say half a minute, causes that a big part of methanol goes away ? -- cheers,

Re: [Biofuel] EV is not dead

I've seen one or two civic conversions. One late 80's, and one mid 90's era. Seemed pretty nice, especially the 90's one which used a 9 motor and a 120 volt battery pack, which is generally used in the small pickup conversions -- it could easily turf the tires if you launched to quickly. But both

Personally, I like the Advanced DC motors. But then I think regen is over-rated. If you learn to drive so that you use the brakes as little as possible, then regen offers little advantage, for there is little braking energy for it to recoup. Good strategy for improving fuel economy in ICE
